StringBuffer is a synchronized class for mutable strings. The main problem with making it synchronized is that (1) It was usually used as a local variable so making it synchronized just made it slower. (2) It was never a good idea to use it in a multi-threaded way.

I love the Freescale Freedom boards because they are low-cost, and I do not need a special debug device, as they have the on-board OpenSDA. It is using a small Kinetis-K20 which acts as JTAG debugging probe. Why not using the Freedom board to program another board?

LinkedIn shows 42% growth (year over year?) people claiming Clojure as a skill – surprisingly beating out Scala’s 9%, a surprising feat for a lisp-variant. Turns out LinkedIn’s default view is misleading – Scala shows more new adopters (2.4k) vs 1.5k for Clojure.

Swapping has always been something bad for MySQL performance but it is even more important for HA systems. It is so important to avoid swapping with HA that NDB cluster basically forbids calling malloc after the startup phase and hence its rather complex configuration.

MySQL provides the handy RESET SLAVE command. But as we’ll see, its behavior has changed along with the MySQL versions and it’s easy to shoot yourself in the foot if you use it incorrectly. So how do you safely disconnect a replication slave?

The new Freedom board adds a Cortex-M4 to the existing FRDM-KL25Z and FRDM-KL05Z. It comes with the headers, plus temperature and ambient light sensor. While the M4 provides more horse-power, I wish it would have more than 16 KByte of RAM.
